mortgage
a conveyance of land or an assignment of chattels as a security for the payment of a debt or the discharge of some other obligation for which it is given. Every form of property may be mortgaged except the salaries of public functionaries. Mortgages may be legal, in which case they must be effected by deed, or equitable, in which event they may be effected informally, as, for example, by the deposit of documents of title with the lender. The lender (the mortgagee) is accorded certain powers to protect his investment. The principal powers are sale and foreclosure and the right to appoint a receiver – a right that may become exercisable in the event of a default. The borrower (the mortgagor) is entitled to redeem in accordance with the terms of the mortgage. On payment of the outstanding balance, together with any interest due, the mortgage is discharged.
In relation to land in England and Wales, a legal mortgage of freehold land is effected by means of a demise subject to a proviso for cesser on redemption; in relation to leaseholds, the mortgage as effected by a sub-demise. An alternative form, provided for by Section 851 of the Law of Property Act 1925, is a charge by deed expressed to be by way of legal mortgage. Since the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989, the creation of an equitable mortgage requires to be in writing and can, it would seem, no longer be effected merely by deposit of title deeds. To secure protection against bona fide purchasers, equitable mortgagees should ensure that their mortgages are protected by registration as a land charge (where the title is not subject to the Land Registration Acts) or as a charge where the title is so subject.
In Scotland the word is used non-technically to describe the lending relationship in relation to heritage. The legal documentation in Scotland is by way of a standard security.

mortgage
An arrangement under which a borrower puts up the title to real estate as security (collateral) for a loan to buy the real estate. The borrower typically agrees to make regular payments of principal and interest to repay the loan. If the borrower falls behind (defaults) on the payments, the lender can foreclose on the real estate and have it sold to pay off the loan. Compare: trust deed

Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary. . 2009.

mortgage
The transfer of the ownership of an asset by way of security for particular obligations on the express or implied condition that it will be re-transferred on the discharge of the secured obligations.
A legal mortgage is the most secure and comprehensive form of security interest. It transfers legal title to the mortgagee and prevents the mortgagor from dealing with the mortgaged asset while it is subject to the mortgage. An equitable mortgage arises where the formalities to create a legal mortgage have not been completed or where the asset being mortgaged is only an equitable interest. An equitable mortgage only transfers a beneficial interest in the asset to the mortgagee with legal title remaining with the mortgagor.
+mortgage
USA
The lien an owner of property gives to a lender as security for the payment and performance of loan obligations. The owner is the mortgagor and the lender is the mortgagee. The owner retains use of the property and the lien is removed when the loan is repaid. Commonly used to take a lien over real property.

mortgage
A legal document by which the owner (i.e., the buyer) transfers to the lender an interest in real estate to secure the repayment of a debt, evidenced by a mortgage note. When the debt is repaid, the mortgage is discharged, and a satisfaction of mortgage is recorded with the register or recorder of deeds in the county where the mortgage was recorded. Because most people cannot afford to buy real estate with cash, nearly every real estate transaction involves a mortgage.

mortgage
n.
   a document in which the owner pledges his/her/its title to real property to a lender as security for a loan described in a promissory note. Mortgage is an old English term derived from two French words "mort" and "gage" meaning "dead pledge." To be enforceable the mortgage must be signed by the owner (borrower), acknowledged before a notary public, and recorded with the County Recorder or Recorder of Deeds. If the owner (mortgagor) fails to make payments on the promissory note (becomes delinquent) then the lender (mortgagee) can foreclose on the mortgage to force a sale of the real property to obtain payment from the proceeds, or obtain the property itself at a sheriff's sale upon foreclosure. However, catching up on delinquent payments and paying costs of foreclosure ("curing the default") can save the property. In some states the property can be redeemed by such payment even after foreclosure. Upon payment in full the mortgagee (lender) is required to execute a "satisfaction of mortgage" (sometimes called a "discharge of mortgage") and record it to clear the title to the property. A purchase-money mortgage is one given by a purchaser to a seller of real property as partial payment. A mortgagor may sell the property either "subject to a mortgage" in which the property is still security and the seller is still liable for payment, or the buyer "assumes the mortgage" and becomes personally responsible for payment of the loan. Under English common law a mortgage was an actual transfer of title to the lender, with the borrower having the right to occupy the property while it was in effect, but non-payment ended the right of occupation. Today only Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Vermont cling to the common law, and other states using mortgages treat them as liens on the property. More significantly, 14 states use a "deed of trust" (or "trust deed") as a mortgage. These states include: California, Illinois, Texas, Virginia, Colorado, Georgia, Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina and West Virginia. Under the deed of trust system title is technically given to a trustee to hold for the lender, who is called a beneficiary.
